Okay. 😅
I don't know what this says about how old I feel inside, but since I don't follow celebrities outside their roles, I only just now learned that a character I'd been trying not to adore in too creepy a way (Erica "I fly the ship" Ortegas), thinking that she was surely a whippersnapper in her twenties, is actually played by someone a year and a half older than me.
So 1) yay! I can crush non-creepily!
But also
2) how old IS my internal clock running, that I assumed she was "too young"?!
"Pilot’s personal log. Stardate 1630.3. I am Lieutenant Erica Ortegas. Most of the time, I fly the ship which is cool but can get boring. Today is different. Rigel VII’s atmosphere’s a hot mess of wind shear, exotic radiation, and heavy particles that jam the sensors on our shuttles. Piloting down takes incredible skill which I have but the best part? I’m with the landing party, something I almost never get to do."
